Discouragement In The Midst Of Encouragement - Bishop Dr.Delford Davis

[Music] shall you never keep on building keep on building come on say build my brother build my sister don't let the devil discourage you build your fasting build your prayer build your consecration build your bible reading build your church attendance build your giving build your living don't slack your riding i don't know how this can be preached but the text from nehemiah chapter 4 the first 11 verses the moderator read those verses father we ask in the name of jesus that you will inspire this lump of clay anoint me with fresh oil let liquid fire burn within my body and so that the flames will scatter abroad in this congregation by television by internet my radio social media platform whenever and wherever people are i pray that you will be glorified oh glory as i believe you for the mighty move of your spirit in jesus name amen if your bible is open i want to refresh your memory with two verses number 10 and number 11 verse is from nehemiah chapter 4. the words are and judah said the strength of the bearers of burden is decades and there is much rubbish so that we are not able to build the wall and our adversary said that judah is still speaking and our adversary said they shall not know neither see till we come in the midst among them and slay them and cause the work to cease those two verses were words spoken by one of nehemiah's contemporary one of his team member they named him judah he spoke those words verse 10 and verse 11. i want to use our theme whether it be in exclamation form or in a question form but i want to raise it this way discouragement in the midst of encouragement discouragement in the midst of encouragement you can use it with exclamation signs or you can use it with a question sign i'm using a question for presenting it in a question form all can there be why should there be discouragement in the midst of encouragement it will take you a few minutes to understand where the lord is leading can you say amen but the words of judah spoken in those two verses were words of discouragement real discouragement in the midst of a situation where people were fully committed fully persuaded to accomplish that which god called and empowered nehemiah to accomplish with the helpless support of his people those words were words of discouragement in my view judah seemed not to realize what great things that happened what great things had happened and what great things were happening by the good hands of the almighty god he seemed not to have recognized i repeat the wonderful things that had happened and what were still happening what were they bishop the walls of jerusalem were torn down the city was exposed to all kinds of enemy invasion and god found and called and anointed a man with a bird with a passion and said go rebuild the walls god gave him all the favors that he needed from the kings and all of those who needed to make their input and intervention to give him money to give him workers who gave him material everything that he needed god provided them and in the midst of it all the walls were being built the walls were being built judah was part of the whole building crew judah saw what was happening i believe and judah must have recognized that hey the mighty hand of god is at work among us the good hand of god is stretched out enemies on every hand if it had not been for the lord on our side all sun balance and tobias the arabians and all the horse would have run over us and we would have been defeated and would have been brought to shame but look what the lord is doing with a people who had a mind to work their hearts were fixed and accomplishing what god had sent them to accomplish but in the midst of all the wonderful things that had happened and the wonderful things that were happening listen the words of judah the strength of the bearers of burden is decay and there is much rubbish so that we are not able to build and our adversaries are saying the very same thing said judah our adversaries say we can't do it either because hey they are going to defeat us why on earth should a dissenting voice a voice of discouragement a voice of doubt a voice of pessimism pessimistic voice why should the doubtful voice be spoken when they see with their eyes what god was doing i'm going somewhere i will soon get there by the grace of god somebody say help us jesus the words of judah you've got to be careful who speak and when they speak and what they speak in your ears because the discouraging words of a dissenting voice could overthrow what god sets out to do in your life could stop you in your track could put a spark in your wheel could take the fight out of your spirit and reduce you to a natural normal person when you are more than a conqueror a feeling or preacher somebody here judas are still speaking the voice of judah can be heard amen sometimes in your homes a judah speaks sometimes of the workplace a judah speaks sometimes in your church a judah speaks in your choir judah speaks [Music] among the rank of the clergy judah speaks wherever you go the devil always finds somebody somebody to say it cannot be done but in the name of jesus god if you believe god with me lift your right and like you're militant and say in the name of jesus god almighty in the name of jesus we will not be defeated neither will we be discouraged and it doesn't matter what discouraging words judah speaks we are going to stand on our double watch judah might be discouraged but we are encouraged [Music] oh you know they heard courage for the people of a mind do i have a people here with me with a maid of mine who said my mind is made up and i won't turn back come hell or high water come in come judas come absalom come whomever my mind is made up and the way is forward go forward regardless [Music] oh you're not saying nothing down there hallelujah hallelujah [Music] so bishop who was judah who was this judah well let's say a few things about judah who was judah the person and not judah the place because judah is a person and also judah is a place are you still with me but judah the person was the fourth son of jacob whose mother was leah are you with me somebody second wife to jacob because his love was on rachel more than on leah and laban tricked him in the night and gave him leah instead of rachel and said if you want rachel you got to serve me seven more years at hard labor to get rachel amen and jacob said i love her so much that the seven years sounded like like a few days are you with me somebody so this this this this judah was the fourth son of jacob he was born to leah genesis chapter 29 and verse 35 and this this judah he married a canaanite woman who who bore him three sons namely er er second onan third sheila genesis 38 1-10 and there is something about this phonon anybody know the story about onan well some of you know onan the second son born to him of that canaanite woman i won't say more about him right now but because of the wickedness of those sons god had to slay her and own him and that's genesis 38 1-10 god slew them god took judgment on them because of their contempt because of their wickedness god took them out i told the men and women in augustone yesterday morning do not think that god doesn't have a card to pull you in when he feels like pulling you in hallelujah and because judgment or sentence against an evil work is not speedily executed amen the heart of the sons of men is setting them to do evil but god has a time when he brings people to reckon in when you got to face the deeds and dance to your own music somebody says something here hallelujah but this judah let's continue with him a little more through guile this judah also became the father of twins genesis 38 11-30 pares and zaryas and zarro those twins that said the twins was born to him by tamar and tamar was the widow of his first son er her but when he died this judah promised tamar that i will give you my grandson tomorrow when he's grown the third son i'm sorry and when he was grown he changed his mind and when tamar saw that the promise was not kept tamar decided to trick him to him or dressed up herself in prostitute garment like a woman of the street of the night and was sat in the gate and when judah passed by and saw her you know the story she made a covenant with him she gave he gave her his ring and his staff and went in onto her and she conceived and produced those two sons they came and told them that tamar played the harlot she got pregnant and not married she don't have a husband and judah said bring her let's kill her let's execute judgment upon earth you know sin is a wicked thing you know and when they sent for her tamar said by the man who owns the staff by the man who holds this ring i bear these children and when they went to judah and told him i believe judah must have used the words amen that's all used to david you are more righteous than i you know we've got to be careful but what all of that being said let's continue the message i don't have all morning so this judah was preferred by jacob above his other brethren because jacob chose judah to be leader in egypt to show the way to the children of israel into goshen according to genesis 46 and verse 28 this same judah got preference over his three elder brothers namely ruben simeon and levi they should have been preferred according to family tradition above him being the fourth but he received preference above them now the question is why so why when so much is given amen to an individual and a little is expected of that individual you fail to deliver for unto whom much is given i feel much is record somebody says something here even the tribe of levi he found preference above them ruben simeon levi the priest would tribe this judah because his name means praise somebody praise god with me and when you begin to praise god mountains will be removed when you begin to praise god dark clouds will disappear when you begin to praise god the atmosphere will change for some reason god said i'm gonna exalt praise even above the priesthood oh god am i preaching here i'm going to exalt praise among the pr above the priesthood so you got to praise god so my god in the midst of this the question i ask why should judah hutter those words and that's my main point in this message this morning why should judah in the midst of what god was doing in jerusalem why should judah utter those words you see the enemy has to find a vessel he has to find somebody to use and whoever makes himself available he's going to use you against the things of god somebody says something here that's the reason the word of god says give no place wave your hand and say no place shake it against no place give no place to the devil because his mission is to steal and to kill and to destroy but jesus says i am come whoa to give you life more abundantly discouragement in the midst of such an encouraging situation look at what was happening in the midst of jerusalem with nehemiah and his people at all that time look at the wonderful things that god was doing among all of them everybody should be encouraged everybody should be shouting everybody should be rejoicing and if i localize that statement today i would say being parochial that everybody and power fade ministries should be encouraged every powerful member should be rejoicing every powerful member should have hope in your breast because look at what god is doing in the midst of his people every christian in jamaica should be rejoicing every christian should be hopeful i don't care i know things are not going well in some fronts but believe me more good things are happening than what the devil can do in this land somebody praise god here with me more people are in the hope that are under dawn more people are strong than those who are weak more people are victorious than those who are defeated more people's mind is made up than those who are trying to go back [Music] i feel i'm preaching to somebody here touch your neighbor and tell them no discouragement say no discouragement say no discouragement shake it off in the name of jesus shake it off in the name of jesus don't let discouragement sit in your lap don't let it sit on your head don't let it ride in your car don't let you sit in your bedroom drive it out to your living room rebuke it from your family you are more than conqueror somebody praising behind me here i come to tell somebody that gratitude that is in you that neither is in the world and that god is doing much more greater works than the devil is doing look at your hands look at your feet look at your body look at the blessing begin to count them and when the devil comes up and tell you to be discouraged to join in the hushes of discouragement tell the devil tell him tell him tell him tell him look what the lord has done look what the lord is doing look at where he brought me from the walls were torn down the city was exposed but look at what's happening the walls are being built tell your neighbor keep on building keep on building come on say build my brother build my sister don't let the devil encourage you build your fasting build your prayer build your consecration build your bible reading build your church attendance build your giving build your living don't slack your writing yeah yeah god i feel like praising him anybody feel like i feel when i feel like praising him i don't know how you feel but i feel like praising him [Music] hallelujah in the eyes of the daughters in the eyes of the pessimists it seems so nothing is happening but a lot of things are happening hallelujah the wall was being built right in judah's eyes are you not saying nothing god almighty rubbish was burned according to the text the walls were being built rubbish were burned the breaches were stopped breaches were stopped san bala tobiah and the arabians were confounded hallelujah because every time they tried to amend detour nehemiah nima i'm doing a good work and i can't come down i won't meet you on your turf i won't meet you on your level i will not come down to the devil's level nehemiah said oh no god almighty lift your hand and say doing a good work cannot come down doing a great work can't come down touch somebody and tell them don't come down the heart of the battle the sweeter the victory press along change press along persecution will come people back stop you people try to discourage you but fight the good fight of faith the walls are being built the breaches are stopped the rubbish is burned something is happening why should you be discouraged in the midst of such an encouraging i got somebody praise them in church why should you be discouraged hey hey now you're understanding my message somebody praise god again like you needed [Music] [Applause] most of all judah judah who hearted those words of discouragement the strength of the bearers of burdens is decay and there's much rubbish so we cannot build judah you don't know what's happening it seems the people have a mind to work they are as resolute as nimrod and these men were who settled to build the tower are you not saying anything in that unto the luvian world the people of the mind to work and wherever you find a people with a made-up mind hell can't stop them somebody help me praise him here hell can't stop them hell will bilge and hell will bark an hell will rule and hell will turn but the saints of god said no giving up no surrender no surrender we are pressing on the awkward way new high some gaining every day [Applause] dear god why should choir members be discouraged when god is moving in your midst anointing you to sing people getting blessed people getting saved why should echo their faith be discouraged why should voices of inspiration be discouraged why should men's choral members be discouraged why should golden voices people be discouraged why should kids are teens and everybody why should they be discouraged [Music] if you have a trudeau in your midst you after him you have to hey amen tell trudeau hold your peace come on come on i don't know who the truthers are that been talking in your ears but lift your hand and say judah said judah judah judah judah said to that judah judah in the name of jesus hold your peace shaken though in jesus name all your peace children all your peace you're done if you don't have anything to say shut your mouth judah hallelujah there should be no need for discouragement minister thor no need no reason in the midst of what was happening you're not saying nothing but because there's always a judah you have to prepare to fight somebody showed your praise down here hallelujah hallelujah no need no reason what you see oh lord the words of an influential judo could put a spoke in your wheel the words of an influential judah could put a spoke in your wheel could deflate your tire or say it again on purpose the words of an influential judah could shut you down in the midst of all that god is oh my god somebody help me here hallelujah that's the reason you've got to be mindful and very careful and watchful about who says what why they say what they say i'm not talking about the judas of the world the judas the unsaved judas of the world they've got to talk against the church but judah was part of the working team are you not saying nothing he was part of the choir part of the prayer warrior team part of the musician's team part of the preacher's team part of the elders team he found a place among the leading ones oh jesus you got to be careful tell your neighbor be careful seldom be on your double watch the words of an influential judah could ruin everything that god's doing oh you're not with me here but i challenge you in the name of jesus christ do not be discouraged by the words of your judah listen them carefully process them and discard them eject them out of your spirit somebody prays god with me well bishop never stayed there lord have mercy you still take your money care go get power faith bishop do this and do that and do the other all some people see is what i do not do oh you didn't get that all some people have eyes to see are things that i do not do but the things that i do that's tearing them in the very face they're as blind as a bat and because wickedness is in their heart because confuciousness and malice is with them because jealousy is with them and may attack church people [Applause] they never see the things that have happened they never see the things that are happening but what i have never done do not and will never do that's the thing they see that's what they see or they see them i don't know
